Today was a very busy day for our Ela Bella. She got 2 of her 3 chest tubes out, a couple of medications weaned, neck catheter removed, and breathing tube out! She was more awake and alert, but also so exhausted from all of today’s events. She is on oxygen to help give her some extra support now while her body is taking on the work of breathing. She remains stable. Kidney numbers are not great but they are trending in a better direction. Tomorrow, the plan is to keep weaning meds, start tube feeds very slowly, and get her sitting up.
We are so glad to see her awake now, but it is hard to watch her in discomfort and pain. She also wants to talk but her voice is hoarse from the breathing tube coming out. She wants water, but she can’t drink yet. She doesn’t understand what all is happening and why. It’s scary for her and emotionally difficult for all of us. Yet, it is so exciting to think of how her life will be different and better now. We look forward to all the life she will get to enjoy because of this special heart gift.
Oh my goodness! Praise the Lord! God is just so great and faithful and merciful! Our ❤️❤️ are full!

Lord, thank You a million times over for answered prayers! We all look forward to seeing Ela love and give testimony of your healing power for the rest of her life. Bless this little family that all love and serve you! We Love you Jesus! Amen
So many ups and downs. May God continue to have His hands on Ela and in your family as He guides you in paths of righteousness.
Psalm 23:4
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me. ❤️💗💝🙏🙏🙏
As Jesus spoke to the raging seas, “Peace, be still,” may He speak His peace to Ela’s fears and emotions. Rejoicing in God’s goodness with you and praying always.
